Has anyone here heard anything about Z1 shutting down?

They are not shutting down; however, I understand they may be combining with MikesXS so that they can increase their capabilities. They'll keep their store and service from what Jeff told me a couple of months ago.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Why did they go through 2 months of downtime redoing their website and warehouse only to combine with Mikes which is not even close to being in the same location? What is being "combined"? A few guys have mentioned recently in a KZ group some shoddy service. I haven't needed to order anything from them lately.Comment

From my understanding they share the same facilities.
To be honest, I have ordered a couple of times from them in the last few weeks and even had to return a part due to my own mistake - all transactions continued their fantastic and top-notch service that I have received since I bought the bike 6 years ago.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Maybe that is what all the hub bub a couple of months ago was about. Z1 is in Marion New York and Mikes XS is or was in Florida. Maybe Mikes moved north? I spoke with Jeff a couple of times close to when they were rebooting (reopening) earlier this year, didn't say anything about Mikes but I didn't ask.Comment

MikesXS and Z1 Enterprises are combining operations. Over the next couple of months the Z1 warehouse is going to move and get combined with MikesXS in a very nice facility we'll be sharing. One of the major advantages of the move is our ability to source parts from many more sources in the future - so stay tuned for announcements once the dust has settled from the move.Comment

I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.Comment
